BOOK TWO Training Programs c H A p T E R 1 Basic Training Principles To LOOK LIKE a bodybuilder you need to train like one. Athletes like football players, wrestlers, and weightlifters have a lot of muscle; but only bodybuilders have the shapely, proportioned, completely developed mus- cular bodies we associate with physique competition. If you want to look like a bodybuilder-or even simply want to look more like a bodybuilder than you do now-you need to learn and master the training techniques that bodybuilders have developed on a trial-and-error basis over the past fifty years or so. Just as there is a specific technique involved in hitting a tennis ball or swinging a golf club, there is also a way of doing bodybuild- ing training that is the most efficient and effective means of muscular training possible. It takes hard, dedicated work to build a great physique, but hard work alone is not enough. In addition to training hard, you need to train smart, which means mastering the fundamental principles of bodybuilding. These principles should be learned and practiced right from the begin- ning. It is much easier to learn the proper way to do sometl1ing than it is to unlearn the wrong way and have to start over. As you continue to progress, you will be introduced to more and more complex approaches to training, but there is no need to worry about this at the beginning. The en- cyclopedia is organized to introduce you to these more advanced training ideas on a step-by-step basis so that you will have a chance to master one level of complexity at a time. 136
